    Ads

    With HTML'5' canvas, css3, and JavaScript ads and other 'rich' experiences, there is no simple way to block them, turn a plug-in off, or otherwise block them across the board.

    Since a huge number of Flash complaints related to the content that it was being used for - annoying ads - (rather than for example, the security issues, or memory issues) there will be a lot of people up in arms over the new standards compliant Adobe.

    There will also be a lot of ex-Flash devs who are tooling up, working out the best way to do full page take-overs, and otherwise control your browsers for advertising in slick and inescapable ways... like me! Downvote.

      the problem is, most young protesters don't even know the difference between flash & swf for web-pages, or even just a standalone player for them!!! :/

      as for playing videos without flash support, have you not heard of 'streaming video', that youtube uses to play on Iphone??
